I had multiple discussions with German news projects around micropayments, and they list other, much simpler reasons why they don’t accept it: - depending on the payment method, the transaction cost is too high and eats up almost the full payment - the administrative overhead to maintain micro transactions is huge - it creates the incentive to create articles that sell well, e.g. clickbait, which contradicts the values of these projects - you need to plan ahead and for that you need to have a somewhat predictable flow of income, which is not a given with micropayments.
